Others from Junior Hi and from country schools may attend. White, Barton and Kearns Have Played A year ago Bill White represented Denton in the grid tussle and three years ago Jack Barton was the local member of the All-Star football squad. Walter Kearns, with the University of Arkansas last year, has been Denton's only basketball selection. Walter played on the North's All-Star cage unit in 1948 Botli White and Barton are now members of the University of Texas football squad, Barton having played much of the time last year as defensive linebacker. Back To Cases Again The only dark splotch on the 18th annual coaching clinic is Bradley Forest Anderson, basketball coach invited to head the cage clinic along with Frank Wells Anderson, of course, is the coach the players recently accused of conspiring with gamblers at Bradley.

It's tough to believe that a coach, a man who is as closely associated with an athletic unit, could not smell trouble through the three years Bradley players have allegedly ridden on the "point" end of the "fixes." A Point Of View To us, it is hardly feasible that such an instructor would be very benefiting to. a group of schoolboy coaches whether he can explain the famed blind pass or not Maybe we are old fashioned, but it seems that athletics, whether on a big time basis or not, should first substantiate a form of character building To win is fine and to fill the financial budget is better, but if sacrificing a bov's character is necessary to obtain either of these ends then we are the opinion sports has gotten out of hand. North Texas State Loaded With the coming of football, North Texas State coaches Od'us Mitchell and De Walker can shake off any lethargic summer wakes and spring around bright-eyed and anxious.

RECORD.CHRONICLE 5-1 GIANTS SLIP BY REDS; PHILS RECORD SHUTOUT CINCINNATI, July 28 George Spencer had to come to the rescue again but he and Larry Jansen were good enough for the New York Giants to give Cincinnati a 3 to 1 beating today, the fifth straight setback for the slumping Cincinnatians. Jensen had a sparkling shutout until Connie Ryan and Lloyd Mer- imaii ilrove him to cover with ne out in the ninth.

Spencer, who lad to help Jim Hearn Friday night, came on, however, to get the side out. Until the ninth Jansen had allowed only six hits. The Giants actually wrapped up game in the opening inning they scored twice off starter Ken Raffcnsberger. Singles by Eddie Stanky and Alvin Dark opened the contest and then both tallied on a safe blow by Monte Irvin. From there on Raffensberger was in control until the sixth when Willie Mays bounced a home run off the top of the left field wall.

CHICAGO, July 28-- Wl Behind the seven hit pitching of Russ Meyer, the Philadelphia Phillies recorded their fourth consecutive shutout victory today as they edged the Chicago Cubs 1 to 0 before 10,806. The Phils are only two games short of the major league record of six set by Pittsburgh in 1903. Meyer had perfect control. He issued no walks and fanned three. Andy Seminick's line double to start the fifth opened the way for the winning run.

Meyer moved Se- minick up with a sacrifice and Richie Ashburn singled the stocky Phillies catcher home. AS TIGERS' GENERAL MANAGER Evans Quits; Gehringer In DETROIT, July 28--Wl--William. G. (Billy) Evans resigned today as Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Detroit Tigers effective at the end of the season. club said Charlie Gehringer, one of its all-time great players, would be his successor.

The surprise announcement came as the Tigers were on an Eastern road trip and staggering through their worst season since Evans took over nearly five years ago. The club is only a game ahead of sixth place Washington. A wealthy man, Evans, 67, said he would leave the Tigers Oct. 1, hut he doesn't know if he'll retire. "I've always been so active I may not be able to," he said.

"I can always pull out my typewriter and return to newspaper writing." Owner Walter O. Briggs said Gehringer was the only man considered for the position. "My task was to persuade Char- Icy to take the job," Briggs said.

Gehringer said Red Rolfe would he back as manager next season. "I like Red and I think he is a wonderful manager," Gehringer said. "What's more important, Mr. Briggs likes Red. He told me so." Gebringcr said Briggs "just didn't give me a chance to say no.

He held out his hand for about 10 seconds waiting for me to shake on the bargain and finally got embarrassed, grasped my hand and shook it." Tile former star said the negotiations took place 10 days ago. Gehringer ended a 19-year career with the Tigers in 1942 and now is a partner in a lucrative manufac- luring business. Quiet, soft-spoken, Gehringer was one of the game's greatest second basemen. PITTSBURGH, July 28 Pinch-hitter Eddie Fitzgerald's two-run double and Warren Spahn's wildness helped Pittsburgh come from behind today to down the Boston Braves 8-4 behind the nine- hit pitching of Murry Dickson. Dickson, nicked by Sid Gordon's two-run homer during a three-run Brave Rally in the sixth, fanned seven batters in notching his 13th chased during a four-run rally in the same inning, was charged with his ninth loss.

He's won 11. Ttvo Successfully Stvini Channel DOVER, July 28--Ml--Two men swam the English Channel today, the first to make a successful crossing of the 21-mile stretch this season.

The two who were successful crawled ashore in St. Margaret's Bay here.

They were Abdel Litif Abou Hell. 22, an Egyptian student, and Phil Rising, 41, an English watchmaker. With 29 lettermea and several promising transfers and sophomores on hand, Coach Odus Mitchell expects to field this fall one of the strongest and most capable football elevens in the history of North Texas State athletics. Junior and senior lettermen are available for all starting posts on both offensive and defensive units. A strong Eagle ground attack will be led by hard-running Kenneth Bahnsen, 200-pound fullback who piled no 837 yards rushing ast year from a halfback post.

Lettermen halfbacks include chun- Tommy Gray, trackmen Ray Renfro and Itoyce Womble, and Billy Ray Clark. Greatest loss from 1950 was Quarterback Zeke Martin, who completed 68 passes for 1106 yards last year. His successor will be Bill Brashier, senior who was key safetyman and second-string quarter last year, or Richard Harvey, a junior who played some in 1950. Probable offensive starting line will include Jim Stuart and Wendell Swann at ends. Both were 1950 starters and Swann, former Little All-American at Panola Junior College, caught 3(i passes last 'year to rank third nationally among small-college receivers.

Tackles probably will be Charley Quails and T. K. Hardy, regulars at linebacker and guard spots last season. A strong mid-section will include George Benz and Glen Wood, lettermen regulars, at guards, and 225-pound Quincey Armstrong, last year's star center. Bade in 1949 Mitchell was forced to build a defensive line around a group of jreen but heavy sophomores.

This line now has two years of defense experience and more poundage, averaging over 220- potinds. The all-senior forward wall includes Jack Lawless and Bob Gandy at ends, Bill Bishop and Jim Brewer (Both 245) at tackles, and Walter O'Farrell and 230-pound I A 1950 Plymouth 4-door.
